Mirai Nikki and Steins;Gate both deal with changing the future, and past. Although one is more action orientated, and one is more scientific. Both contain amazing revelations and keep you on the edge of your seat. Mirai Nikki is more heart pounding and supernatural, but Steins;Gate is more intellectual. Both are deep and most importantly, these shows have AMAZING character development. We can feel their tremendous growth, their motives, and their ambitions. Tearjerker, heartwarming, and immersive, if you've seen one and want an anime that makes you think just as deep, check the other out.

Interestingly enough, the comedy/shounen flicks, Beelzebub and Kill la Kill are quite similar in setup, execution, and of course enjoyment! Some similarities they share are: School theme—if you liked the school premise, where there is a main character "challenging/getting challenged" by other groups/gangs you will enjoy both, for both use the school as a catalyst to move the plot. The school is also like a gag, which is quite silly, as they do not represent how a normal school is at all. Over-the-top—Both go to extremes for enjoyment, both showing some degrees of nudity (which I won't list here) for the humor effect, which works well in both cases. Of course the action/humor are taken to new extremes and both animes have a IDC attitude and show what they want to show, making them unique animes that really stand out. Enjoyment: If you like one, and are looking for an anime that is similar in style and humour, check the other one out. Both are top tier humor animes that use the over-the-top silliness to give the viewers an enjoyable watch. If you are looking for something new apart from the teeming amount of overdone shounen anime, romcom, and clichés check them out.

Yukiteru and Zwei try to survive throughout the stories when many obstacles are thrown their way. At first both ukiteru and Zwei are hesitant to kill people, but after their first kill, they acclimatize with their new circumstances and deal with it. Both also have a strong female leads with unique personalities, with a penchant for killing. The tendency to show rated R gore and mood fit each other. If you liked the darkness/mystery of Mirai Nikki with a tinge of a smaller romantic subplot that slowly develops over time, Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom is a great watch.
